Ohio EPA Annual Mercury PMP Report (DOC 550K) and Appendices (DOC 890K) — The goal of the pollutant minimization program (PMP) is to move a POTW toward compliance with the water quality based effluent limits for mercury. The annual report should identify individual facilities or targeted groups within the sectors covered by the PMP and provide the status of these facilities with respect to the program’s goals. These forms are meant to provide a more defined and descriptive way for the POTW to report this information to Ohio EPA. The Appendices include forms that the POTW can use in implementing some of the elements of its PMP. A POTW is not required to use these templates and may choose an alternate method or format for submitting this information.
